New moon in June

For this new moon I have pulled a major from my just arrived Mother Peace Tarot as to what energy I should embrace during the next cycle of the moon. The two previous lunations I also drew a Major card and I found that the multilayered aspect of these cards made it so much more interesting to work with them for the duration of one month. So for this month I cut the deck and flipped through the cards until the first Major came up. And it was The Lovers.

Notice how the two lovers meet each other in the pink middle of the card. They can walk together under a bower of roses towards the setting sun.

Personally for me, The Lovers is not so much about romantic love but more about how to unite my masculine and feminine aspects, about how to become a whole person and last but not least about how to woo myself. In my last post I have written about what a bit of makeup can do for your self-worth but now it seems my brand new feminine-oriented deck is taking it up a notch. It is as if She is using this small concession to pampering myself as a starting point to some major changes in my self-care and self-love practice. I think July is a perfect month to start pampering myself more regularly. (I am thinking strawberries, ice cream, sunshine, flowers etc) Yes, and not because I have to but because I want to be with myself. I will consciously choose to enjoy these moments as a loving caress for my soul. Who knows, maybe at the end of this moon cycle, Me Myself and I will be going steadyJ

Thanks for your post and the reminder of the New Moon. This card of the Lovers and finding balance for yourself and indulging/pampering yourself goes right along with the card you drew the other day, when you decided to add makeup to your morning routine; for no one other than yourself.

Oh, I love this, Ellen! Self-love and pampering sound absolutely delightful :D Those Greek urns are so interesting. Both show pairs of figures, but they relate so differently. Are you at war with yourself, or able to show yourself kindness? And yet, perhaps sometimes you need to be able to put up a fight or maybe on that warring urn you are the sacrifice, willingly relinquishing yourself, sacrificing and letting go in order to become part of something larger... So many possibilities - I love a Lovers with six parts ;)
